    I live in Loughborough, Leicestershire. My boss owns the pub I work in offices above!!! While the pub is a free-house, my boss stocks it with Theakston beers mainly, with the occasional black sheep barrel. I got a taste for the beers while I went caving in Cumbria and North Yourshire when I was at Uni. I'd recommend the original Theakston brewery tour. From Leeds it cost £15 including a coach. Basically you get all you can drink for 1/2 an hour, and then a 1 minute tour, and then more all you can drink for another 1 1/2 hours! :cool: It was the best beer I've ever tasted!

                      I found it in Málaga !, in good Pubs you can have one of those, not only in Belgium :-). Altough I have a friend from that country, and he told me some other beers, that are harder to find here in Málaga. Je je... International Grimbergen :-)

You find many with are between 6% and 11% while the average is around 3-4%. They quickly knock you off your boots.

                            I think you're right, but for years it was advertised here by that label and it's stuck in my mind. Recent ads refer to it simply as Guinness, but it still tastes wonderful!:) "Please don't put cigarette butts in the urinal.
